Built a treehouse with my 7yo this weekend and it was awesome

2w ago1 min read

So I had like 4 pallets sitting in my garage for months and finally decided to do something with them. My son kept bugging me about a treehouse so I figured why not. We spent Saturday and Sunday out there, me cutting and nailing while he handed me tools and tried to measure things with a tape measure that was way too big for him. We got it about 6 feet up in the oak tree, got some safety rails on there, threw down some plywood for the floor. It's not fancy but he loves it and keeps inviting the neighborhood kids over. Best weekend in a while honestly.

Love this. As a coach I see a lot of dads talk about wanting more time with their kids but you actually built something with yours. That's what it's all about.

That's incredible man! My kids are always asking me to build stuff but I'm usually scrambling between three different sports schedules. Props for actually making it happen with those pallets.

Those are the memories right there. My 7yo still talks about the fort we built last year in the living room, so a treehouse? That's going to stick with him for years.
